Simple Times, Simple Needs

I took Monday off to enjoy my 2nd day of being 41 years old. Today’s comic was inspired by a very interesting NPR report on how the Amish are adopting technology. A common misconception is that Amish people are anti-technology. The truth of the matter is that they do use technology, but they carefully consider the implications before adding it to their way of life.

What I found of particular interest was the fact that there is a company that outfits computers for Amish people – with “features” such as “no Internet, no video and no music”.

Come to think of it, this type of device might be pretty useful for writers and artists as well…
